I don't know if it's my computer or I'm so discombobulated I can't post the linkto the Chicago Tribune site with the story. three day tix are the only ones available right nowand single day tix will be sold after they announce the individual day line ups

I so hate Lollapalooza. this news has me all, um . . . . at a loss for words

they will be ten miles due east of me. how can I not go to this?and the story sez it's the only other world tour performance of the original four besides Donnington

Well they don't say there won't be an ozzfestThey're just saying that Sabbath are only playing once in the USA at Lollapalooza I guess there's still a chance of an ozzfest tour or an ozzy and friends tourBut its getting a bit late though to be making any announcements isn't it?

in the past, Lollapalooza has strictly enforced its EXCULSIVITY CLAUSErestricting bands from scheduling shows near the date and area of the festival(and this is a quote and link directly from a Chicago Tribune article about it from 2010)

Lollapalooza:Unless artist or agent thereof receives express written consent executed by a representative of C3, Artist will decline any performance engagement from 180 days before Lollapalooza to 90 days following Lollapalooza within a 300-mile radius of Lollapalooza. This radius clause also includes any performances (public or private) in Chicago the weekend of Aug 6-8, 2010. Artist will not announce ANY Lollapalooza performance until Lollapalooza has publicized its schedule.

and, looking over the shoulder of someone on Facebook about this earlier todaythe people on the Black Sabbath page are NOT HAPPY about this news

What's the big deal about that limitation?300 miles isn't THAT restrictive surely?Sabbath and Ozzy can still play all over the USA (except within 300 miles of Chicago)!?Unless of course Lollapalooza don't enforce that requirement on them?
